- DDaphneLos Angeles •1 review4.0Dined 5 days agoEverything was great me and my friends had a good time here. The Dj was excellent he had a mixture of every song/genre. The only area we were a little upset about was the Photo Booth. It needs to have a screen so we are able to see ourselves before the picture actually takes.More info1212 Santa MonicaPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Monica•4.3

If you’re looking for the perfect spot for a girls’ night out, look no further than El Rincón de Los Dolidos! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and incredible service. The vibe is everything — intimate, fun, and full of good energy. The music was on point all night! A playlist that kept us singing, dancing, and feeling all the feels. Whether you’re there to toast to good times or let out a few tears with your girls, this place sets the perfect mood. Drinks? Delicious. Staff? Attentive and friendly. Atmosphere? Absolutely unmatched.
